Christian Berghoff and Sebastian Haas are two lifelong friends from Saarbrucken, Germany who back in 2007 formed the band Pretty Lightning. The duo tick off a long list of influences – from 60s psych and delta blues through to krautrock and drone – and the end-product is a heady dose of raw, twisted psychedelic blues recalling an utterly visceral mix of Oh Sees, Wooden Shjips and early Black Keys. Fast-forward ten years and the German two-piece have two highly-praised LPs behind them and are now gearing up for their third effort, 'The Rhythm Of Ooze' – due for release November 10th on Fuzz Club Records. Their latest long-player sees them dive even further down the rabbit-hole of stomping garage-rock blues and dizzying motoric drones. This is Pretty Lightning at their best - a head-heavy trip through their lysergic, rock'n'roll prowess.
